To those who completed nursing school with kids, I wondered if it was worth it. Was it worth the stress, the sacrifices, the time away from the kids? Would you go back and change anything, or are you happy with the way things turned out? And for those nurses who are now working, does your job allow you enough time to decompress and enjoy family life at home?

I appreciate your reply! Thanks for the info and glad it's going well for you!

Hi! I'm new here but have been lurking around this site for a while. Have a BA in psych and did social work for a while but planning to switch directions and head into nursing. I plan to apply for PCC's program and I know there's a waitlist but am in no rush because I'm waiting for my 15-month-old to grow up a little more before I commit to it. There are 2 pre-req's I need to finish (Bio 202 and chem) before I can apply. I chose PCC because I have enough GI Bill to cover it and don't want to go into debt for more school. Any grads from PCC's program out there? How was it? How are the instructors? How time consuming is the program? I keep second-guessing when I should begin the program because I want no regrets about missing out on time with my little family. School will always be there. I have heard some say that nursing school is their life, while others managed fine by studying after the little ones went to bed. Would love to hear about anyone else's experience! Thanks!
